Such a treasure is sure to bring great joy to the villagers of their tiny coastal town, and even greater renown to the Salazar name. No diver, not even the swaggering Gaspar Ruiz, has ever found a pearl like this! But is there a price to pay for a prize so great? When a terrible tragedy strikes the village, old Luzon’s warning about El Diablo returns to haunt Ramon. If El Diablo actually exists, it will take all Ramon’s courage to face the winged creature waiting for him offshore. Like the author's Newbery Medal-winning classic Island of the Blue Dolphins, Scott O'Dell's The Black Pearl is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780547334004","publication_date":"20100412","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"the-black-pearl","subtitle":"A Newbery Honor Award Winner","title":"The Black Pearl"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAF002020","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Marine Animal Stories","score":0.8094,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV001020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Pirate Adventures","score":0.7698,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV001010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Survival Stories","score":0.7679,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAF002020","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Marine Animal Stories","score":0.8094,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV001020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Pirate Adventures","score":0.7698,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JUV001010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Survival Stories","score":0.7679,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JUV001000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Action & Adventure","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV002170","confidence_band":"high","label":"Marine Life","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV005000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Boys & Men","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV011030","confidence_band":"high","label":"US: Hispanic & Latino Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV013000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Family Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV022000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Legends, Myths, Fables / General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV039140","confidence_band":"high","label":"Self-Esteem & Resilience","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAF001000","confidence_band":"high","label":"YA Adventure","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"YA Marine Animal Stories","score":0.8094,"slug":"ya-marine-animal-stories"},{"label":"Pirate Adventures","score":0.7698,"slug":"pirate-adventures"},{"label":"Survival Stories","score":0.7679,"slug":"survival-stories"}],"reader_fit":["Readers drawn to perilous sea adventures involving legendary treasure and a winged creature"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Sherri L.
